NARA RIE AKWUNA UGWO

"Nara Rie Akwuna Ugwo" is a gentle, inviting Communion hymn composed by Jude Nnam. The title captures the profound grace of the Eucharist—an invitation to come, take, and eat of the heavenly banquet without cost. The melody flows with a calm, reassuring reverence, perfectly suited for the sacred moments when the congregation approaches the altar to receive the Body and Blood of Christ.

In the choir loft, this piece is a staple for the Communion procession. The verses reflect deeply on the sacrifice of Christ and the healing power of His body and blood, reminding the faithful that this spiritual food sustains us on our earthly journey. Singing "Wer' obi ocha na um'ala" (with a pure heart and humility), the choir leads the church into a space of quiet gratitude, encouraging everyone to lay their burdens at the feet of Christ and receive the living water.
